Rock music does not cause sex

Teenagers listen to obnoxious rock music. Teenagers have sex. This does not mean that rock music causes sex. The Washington Post is not a reliable source for this subject.

Correlation, not causation.

via Why Homeschool and The Thinking Mother

If sexually suggestive music caused sex I should have been scoring like nobody’s business in high school. I listened to a steady diet of Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Ratt, Prince, etc in high school.

    Yeah, me too. Our graduation motto was seriously: “Sex, drugs, rock and roll”. And just like today, everyone was lying about what they were getting a lot more than they were actively getting. Kids lied back then about having sex (Oh yeah, I’m scoring every night) and they lie now. There is no way to get accurate statistics when you’re talking about teenagers.
